The client was an edible oil manufacturing facility(Lever Brother Pakistan) ,they want expand their production and

make the existing facility as baseline , contracted Zeshan engineering to develop piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) for the plant process and utility systems, to generate heat and material balances and process flow diagrams (PFDs) for the facilitys major processes, and to generate mass balances around the key utility systems. the project tasks were involved:

Walk down of the facility and systems to create draft sketches of the equipment and detailed piping and instrumentation associated with seven (7) major processes (2 Deodorizers, 3 interesterification Reactors, 1 Hydrogenation System, and 1 Bleaching System). On the basis sketches ,developed PFDs and P & Ids. A total of approximately 150 P&IDs were generated for the facility. Preparation of heat and material balances (HMBs) and PFDs for the Deodorizers, Reactors, and Hydrogenators. For each process, a simulation model was developed using PROCESS' licensed commercial computer process simulation software in conjunction with customized Excel workbooks. The models were developed as smart models to be used by the client to modify input variables for the process so that HMB data could be generated for various operating cases. A baseline case for each process was transferred to the appropriate PFD. Preparation of mass balances around the steam, cooling water, and hot water systems. These mass balances were done to define the current capacity of each system and to quantify the additional capacity requirements for a new Deodorizer and new Hydrogenation system (that were to be part of the plant expansion). The utility mass balances were done in MS Excel format. I actively participated in the review of PFDs, P&IDs and HMBs. I did line and pump sizing through Fathoms software and produce hydraulics specification data sheets.
